The Butterfly at Saint Mary's Parish

This is for Karsyn, it was written last Spring. We were blessed because we knew her.

Flutter by, Butterfly



If you ask her,
She will tell you, I am a butterfly.

She floats
Through the empty church pews.

Lands on
The oak prayer bench.

Her wings
Show the world her rainbow.

Flutter by, Butterfly

Touch the sky
Do not fly unsuspecting

Into the net
Of malignancy.

Like this child, spread your cheer
Everywhere your small, dusty wings fly. Flutter.

Flutter.


Note: for Karsyn Bell
